Chapter 70: Seeking Protection
The middle-aged businessman Jia Si was still puzzled when he thought about it, so he asked out loud: "A few heroes, don't toss Jia someone." From the time Jia was lured here, I know that you don't want to attract people's eyes and ears, so if you have any questions, just ask! ”
Jiang Qiu chuckled and said, "Boss Jia is really a smart person. Please forgive me for the offense. So may I ask Boss Jia, have you ever heard of Yanyutang?"
This is Jiang Qiu's cleverness, he first asked Boss Jia if he had heard of Yanyutang, for such a direct question, I am afraid that Boss Jia has already set off a storm in his heart, because he really can't imagine why Jiang Qiu would suddenly ask like this. If Jiang Qiu directly asked what he was doing in Yanyutang, then Boss Jia would not admit it, and he would bite himself to death and not know what Yanyutang was.
But Jiang Qiu chose to only ask him if he had heard of Yanyutang, this was to judge whether he was lying by observing his words and feelings, because if a person was caught off guard without the slightest preparation, there would be a change in the expression on his face more or less. And by the change in expression, you can tell if the person is lying.
Boss Jia's expression changed in shock when he faced Jiang Qiu's question, and then he recovered and said indifferently: "I don't know what the woman is talking about, Jia has never heard of it." ”
"Oh, is it? I wonder why Boss Jia's face changed when he heard the little woman say the word Yanyutang just now?" Jiang Qiu said with a playful smile.
Boss Jia quibbled and said, "That...... That's because I've never heard of that smoke and rain hall at all. I'm a businessman, and I don't get involved in your affairs, so I heard about this Yanyutang. ”
After Jiang Qiu listened to Boss Jia's words, he looked at Boss Jia and shook his head with a chuckle and said, "Boss Jia doesn't tell the truth, I can't help the little woman, if you change this Li Daxia, I'm afraid Boss Jia is already a corpse at this time." We also have no intention of endangering Boss Jia, we just want to hear about some things, if Boss Jia cooperates, then after the matter is over, the four of us will treat it as if we have never seen Boss Jia, and we will not leak it out at this time. ”
After finishing speaking, Li Chengfeng came out and pulled out his sword in a fake way, and said coldly: "Since this fang doesn't tell the truth, what's the use of keeping it, it's better to kill it with a knife!"
Boss Jia looked at the fierce Li Chengfeng and couldn't help but tremble slightly and said, "I said, I've heard it." I say both. But you promise me first. If you leave this place, you must not leak today's events, otherwise not only me, but even you will be hunted down and retaliated against. ”
"Tell me everything you know. Including the smoke and rain building. Lin Xia also pretended to threaten.
Boss Jia then began to talk to the three of them. It turned out that it was a few years ago, Mr. Jia originally opened a small business in the city, making a living by selling goods between many places, but suddenly one day, his goods were robbed in the middle of the road. At that time, Boss Jia thought that it was normal to go south and north to encounter a robbery, so he returned to Furong City and purchased a batch of Shudi special goods to transport to Wangwei County, but it was robbed again halfway through. 、
Once or twice may be affordable for Boss Jia, who is a trader in the past year, but after being robbed one after another, Boss Jia doesn't know which immortal he has offended. So he returned to Furong City to inquire about the news, which didn't matter, but it really startled Boss Jia. It turned out that he was not the only one who had been robbed recently, and all the people in the city who did business had been plundered one after another.
Everyone went to the city lord's mansion to complain, asking the city lord sword twelve to send troops to exterminate these looting bandits, at the beginning, when the bandits were more rampant, the city lord's mansion Jin Jiawei won a great victory under the command of General Wuguang, but the strange thing is that from the capture to a bandit, according to General Wu, all the bandits committed suicide after being captured.
Later, the bandits also began to hide. But retaliation also followed. In the past, he only robbed his property and had no worries about his life, but since he was suppressed several times, he was robbed again not only for his finances, but also for his life.
So everyone came to the city lord's mansion one after another to ask for help, if they can't completely exterminate the bandits, then stop suppressing the bandits. In fact, at this time, it is no wonder that the city lord's mansion is incompetent, and the bandits have no fixed place to live, and today they plundered the road leading to Wangwu County in the north of the city, and after more than ten days, they suddenly came out to rob the road leading to the hinterland of Shuzhong in the west of the city, which is simply impossible to prevent. And the Shu land is already full of mountains and forests, and the bandits are also hidden in the mountains, so the city lord's mansion is also gritting his teeth against the bandits.
Under such circumstances, many merchants gradually left Furong City.
"It stands to reason that if the traders leave Furong City, there must be no other traders willing to come to Furong City to sell their goods. Then why is Furong City today a wealthy party?" Jiang Qiu wondered.
"The girl is really smart. Read on. Boss Jia said.
Since then, there have been no traders in Furong City, and the city lord Sword Twelve also personally led the golden guards to conquer and suppress the bandits, but the group of bandits didn't know if it was because the merchants in Furong City ran away or because of the deterrence of the city lord Sword Twelve, they disappeared without a trace.
But before long, the city of Hibiscus began to completely degenerate into a dead city. Boss Jia has lived in Furong City for generations, and he thought that if he continued like this, he would return to the countryside to cultivate the one-third of an acre of land to feed his family, and he would be content.
But one day, a group of mysterious people suddenly found Boss Jia and told him that if he wanted to continue to do the pawn dealer's business safely and soundly, he would join them and collect ten taels of silver a month, but half of the profits must be handed over to them.
Boss Jia was skeptical, but after inquiring, he found that there was no news of other people in the city who were rumored to be mysterious people, so Boss Jia thought that the group of mysterious people were just charlatans.
Not long after, one day, Boss Jia found that Xu, who had walked with him before, had successfully transported the goods from Forget Worry County to Furong City. Slowly, one after another, more and more people began to sell in the city. Boss Jia was also becoming more and more curious, thinking that it was just that the bandits were gone, so he could succeed, and he didn't take what the mysterious people said to heart at all.
Boss Jia began to return to his old business, but before he could walk through Suoyun Peak, he was robbed again. Luckily, this time a man who was walking not far behind him was also plundered, but that man was secretly protected, so he was spared along with him. So Boss Jia remembered the mysterious person who had come to find him half a year ago, and then he believed what the group of people said.
So when he returned to Furong City, Boss Jia posted a notice at the door of his house. It's also hilarious, the notice has three big words written on it: Ask for protection!
